L201 Hyp. Controden

[Boots n all]

l notice in the Cat-eLog that the L201 has lost the name Contraden and is now sp., why has that happened?

In the Breeding it states unreported, may l suggest that be changed to "Cave Breeder that does best as a group "

Thank you.

There are more than 1 specie under the "201" l-number.

The

Hypancistrus contradens

is now a described specie that is different from the undescribed that exists under the

Hypancistrus sp(l201)

....

Thanks Jim, now explain that for me please?
Where will l find the L201 Hyp. Controden in the cat-eLog then, has it been given a new number

Hypancistrus contradens

is the officially described species, and it is considered a different species than L201, which is found under

Hypancistrus sp(L201)

.

And what exactly is H. Inspector? I thought that was also L201. Is L201 sp the same fish as H. Inspector??
So very confusing....all those names for the same Lnumber

Please explain it to me

[MatsP]

Hypancistrus inspector

is L102. It used to be synonymized with L201 (that is, both L102 and L201 was believed to be the same species), but some 2-3 years ago, someone decided that they are not the same.

Ok, thanks Mats.
Seeing all 3 species and photo's My fish look exactly like L201 sp and fit the discription. Flat, not very big and spots are small and various. I also bought them as L201. Definatly not Contradens and they also don't look like Inspectors.

I've had 4 spawns of them now. Dad is a cave spawner. The baby's have very small spots, not like Contradens witch have rather large spots. I don't know if this is any help on the species L201 sp.

Jac,

I have submitted an update to indicate that they have been bred and do so in typical Hypancistrus way.
